Synopsis:
They are fast friends and worse foes. One is Billy the Kid (Kris Kristofferson), a law unto himself. The other is the law: Sheriff Pat Garrett (James Coburn), who once rode with Billy. Set to a bristling score by Bob Dylan (who also plays Billy's sidekick Alias) and with a Who's Who of iconic Western players, Sam Peckinpah's saga of one of the West's great legends is now restored to its intended glory. For the first time since it left the cutting room, the film has the balance of action and character development Peckinpah wanted, a mix of fury and elegy based on the director's notes and the insights of colleagues.
The difference is profound, as different as an untouched target and a bull's-eye.

Peckinpah Western - Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid review by NO

Spoiler Alert
16/08/2021

Not what I expected.Supposed to be a cult western but although Coburn plays it cool & Kris makes his debut all the other old cowboy faces just have walk on parts.

Too many unexplained gunfights-violence just for the sake of it.Was the brothel scene necessary?All that naked flesh!I did not feel that this was a true history of Garrett

& Billy-just a chase film.Scenery etc was authentic but overall disappointing.
